2. EXISTING ALIGNMENT
2.1. HISTORY AND PRESENT STATUS OR ROAD.
The road Devasar-Mawali Talai was included in BRDB programme in Dec 2002 for construction
to Cl-9 specifications and was completed in the year 2004/2005. The total length of this road is
8.100 Kms. The road takes off from Km 9.985 on Kharabara-Devasar Road and terminates at
Mauwali Talai in MFFR area. Presently, Devasar-Mauwali Talai is being maintained by 101 RCC
under 49 TF /Project Chetak with Scale-I maintenance of Rajasthan state. Present specification
of road are as under:-
Specification Of Road
(i) Class :- CL-9
(ii) Length :- 8.100 Km
(iii) Road way Width :- 7.50 mtr
(iv) FMN Width :- 7.50 mtr
(v) Carriage Way :- 3.75 mtr

15 cm thick.)

2.2. Climate. The area receives scarce rainfall and the average annual rainfall in the region is
20 cm. The temperature in this area ranges from 49o C in summer (Jun) to 5o C in winter (Jan).

2.3. Soil Classification. The soil in the region generally comprises of silty sand with CBR
value up to 11%. Though the road experiences less rainfall, due to the poor soil characteristics,
the embankments are susceptible to rain cuts due to fast discharge of surface runoff. Similarly,
water stagnation is a common phenomenon during rains on sag stretches, which deteriorate the
pavement. Therefore, adequate cross as well as longitudinal drainage facilities are required on
this road.

2.4. Road Inventory. The existing road is of Cl-9 specifications having formation width of 7.50
m and carriageway width of 3.75 m. The crust of the existing road 395 mm thick comprising 15
cm thick GSB Nal-kanker and 22.5 cm thick WBM covered with a wearing coat of thin bituminous
layer of 2.0 cm. The existing pavement is inadequate for the sustained heavy axle traffic on this
road because of its less width of carriageway and crust thickness. Therefore, the road
experiences severe damages and its maintenance has become difficult. The road inventory of
existing road is attached at Appendix ‘AN’

2.5. Traffic. The road being located in plain/desert area and use of heavy axle traffic for
conveyance of Army eqpt. the existing crust thickness and carriageway width are considered
inadequate. The average CVD on this road is 174 Nos out of which 154 Nos (88.51%) are
Heavy axle load truck trailers for transportation of tank etc. The traffic census data recorded at
Km 2.00 on Devasar-Mauwali Talai road are attached at Appendix ‘AI’.

2.6. River Crossing. No River crossing exists on the entire alignment.

2.7. Railway Crossing. No Railway crossing exists on the entire alignment.

2.8. Profile. Existing alignment originates from Km 9.985 of Kharbara-Devasar road(NHDL

specifications) at Devasar and connect to Mauwali Talai- Bhuriadhora road(NHDL specifications).
The proposed alignment traverses through army land. The alignment is having steep gradients
(rise and fall) at certain locations. The site distance is unsafe at few locations. It is found feasible
to develop the existing alignment with improvement of geometrics of the road to meet IRC
stipulations and the user requirement. Plotting of Plan, L- sections and X- sections have been
done with the use of Civil 3D Software by re-grading and curve improvement as per NHDL
specifications and the total design length is found to 8.220 Kms.

3. NECESSITY OF UPGRADATION

3.1. User Requirement. Considering the difficulties being faced by the Army Fmns, the
requirement of up gradation of this road to NHDL specification capable of sustained heavy axle
load has been projected and the status of endorsements are highlighted in succeeding
paragraphs. Therefore, the improvement of this road is a strategic requirement to meet the needs
of Armed Forces being a strategically important feeder axis to the border areas and operational
point of view.

3.2. Topographical Survey. The survey of entire stretch has been carried out with Total
Station. Plotting of Plan, L- sections and X- sections have been done as per site requirement by
Civil 3D Software. Road length have been design by re-grading and curve improvement of
existing surface conforming to the specification in IRC 73:2007. Due to re-grading and curve
improvement of existing road the net design length of road assessed to 8.220 Kms.

8. SURVEYS &INVESTIGATIONS
8.1. Traffic Surveys. Based on traffic survey, the project road has been designed as one
homogeneous section. Traffic Volume Count (TVC) survey has been conducted at Km 2.000 on
Devasar-Mauwali Talai road. The details of traffic census are attached at Appendix ‘AI’.
8.2. Traffic Projection. The adopted Traffic Growth rate is 5% for all type of vehicles.

8.3 General Soil Test Data. The CBR value for stretch from Km 0.000 to Km 8.220 varies
from 10.68 to 12.31 percent. The test results of soil samples are attached at Appendix ‘AJ’.
Therefore, CBR value of 11% (80 percentile weightage CBR value) has been considered for
pavement design as per IRC 37:2018.
8.4. Construction Materials. There is no departmental quarry available for the construction
materials like stone, sand, aggregates etc. The entire materials required for the work are to be
procured through supply contract conforming to the MoRTH specifications. Therefore, no
investigations in this regard have been carried out. The lead involved in supply of aggregates and
stores for this work from the quarries being operated by Contractors & Supply points is as under:-

Ser Item Loc of Quarry/ Supply Point Average lead (Km)

(a) Moorum/Gravel Randhisar 265
(b) Stone Randhisar 265
(c) Sand Bikaner 222
(d) Bricks Suratgarh 94
(e) Aggregates Randhisar 265
(f) Cement Hanumangarh 148
(g) Steel -do- 148
(h) Bitumen -do- 148

8.5. Earth filling to the tune of 47925.32 cum is involved in this DPR. The quantity of earth work
excavation is 70786.00 cum. Therefore, the quantity of soil required for embankment filling will be
available from excavated quantity. However, the same has to be carried to the embankment sites
through Tippers. Necessary provision for carriage of soil has been made in the estimate.
Therefore, there is no requirement to extract soil from Borrow pits. The excess earth balance from
embankment filling have been proposed to disposed off at the locations of high embankment
along the road side within RoW. Hence separate muck disposal/dumping zone will not be
required.
